Ingredients- 1 potato (medium-sized)
- A little bit of onion (about 1/4 small onion, thinly sliced)
- 1 slice of processed cheese
Seasoning & Others- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- Cooking oil, for frying
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- Cooking oil, for frying
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the potato thoroughly. You can peel it or leave the skin on if you prefer. Slice the potato as thinly as possible, aiming for chip-like thinness to ensure maximum crispiness. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the potato slices and let them sit for about 5 minutes. This helps draw out some moisture.
Step 2
Gently pat the potato slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour evenly over the potato slices. The flour will help prevent sticking and contribute to a crispier texture.
Step 3
Carefully toss the potato slices with your hands to ensure they are lightly coated with flour. Try to separate any slices that might be sticking together.
Step 4
For an extra crispy finish, you can lightly dust with a little more flour and mix again. This step further helps absorb any remaining moisture.
Step 5
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Once the oil is shimmering (but not smoking), carefully lay the thinly sliced potatoes flat in the pan, making sure they don’t overlap. Cooking on medium-low heat prevents burning.
Step 6
When the edges of the potato slices begin to turn golden brown, add the thinly sliced onion on top of the potatoes. The onion will soften and add a lovely aromatic flavor as it cooks.
Step 7
Once the onion has started to cook, place the slice of cheese (you can tear it into smaller pieces if needed) over the potatoes and onions. The cheese will melt and act as a delicious binder.
Step 8
Gently fold the potato chips in half, or shape them as desired, allowing the cheese to melt and bind everything together. Cook for another minute or two until the cheese is fully melted and golden. Serve immediately while warm for the best crispy texture and savory flavor! You’ll love the aroma of onion and the gooey, cheesy goodness.
